EF cannons

Electron Flux Cannons

A weapon utilizing top-secret ICEL electromagnetic manipulation techniques - rumoured to be similar to those employed for plasma-containment purposes. Electron flux cannons have two 'settings'; low or high. At low, electrical equipment - including some types of hardened circuitry - is rendered useless. At a higher setting, small objects can be vaporized by the sheer thermal output of the assalt; EF cannons are not, however, generally used for point defence.

Instead, the 'beam' variant - a more energy-efficient version of the cannon, which cannot be fitted to smaller military units as it is size inefficient - is utilized for this purpose wherever possible.

Both EF cannons and EF beam systems are the smaller cousins of E-cannons, one of two short-range offensive particle-beam weapons in use by ICEL.
